Just thought soe of you guys might be intresting in some opinions on this game other than the dude earlier that raving about his disgust in the game.
First of all the bad things. For starters the aiming controls are a bit suspect, without auto aim on it's near impossible to shoot people which just sucks, i've tryed fiddling with the sensitivity but it still sucks. with the auto aim on you hardly have to do any adgusting of the aiming crosshair so it's a bit easy really. That's the worse part out of the way.
The graphics are a bit bland in places to be honest, particuarly the first level..oh and speaking of the first level don't let it put you off, it's a bit of a suck balls level but the 2nd level is much more fun. Another bad thing and this is just me being picky is like TWINE on the N64 when you shoot a hostage or do something that doesn't follow the mission and causes you to fail the level ends, now I don't know about you guys but I kinda like just going nuts in the level and shooting the inncoent bystanders occasionally in Goldeneye and Perfect dark. I really can't understand why other developers never let you do this and force the level to finish, stupid fools. Anyway minor niggle.
Now the good points and you'll be suprised to hear that there's quite a few, the speach is great, whether mid mission or in a pitched gun battle Mcalne always has something to say, very much in line with his film character. Also eves dropping on the terrorists conversations with the hostages and other people is rather amusing. One incident where I snuck into the mens toilet and listened to them talk about women was rather amusing, I proceeded to take one hostage and use him as a shield as his stupid mate with his trousers down ran out of the bog and filled him mate with lead. Another cool thing is taking hostages, very cool sneaking up on a terrorist holding a gun to his head and forcing his stupid mates to surrender their guns. The levels are welldone as well, all seem very different to the last, the first level sucks the balls as i've already said but from then on they get much better.
So basically it's a good game, not perfect but by no means rubbish, if you can get used to the controls (you will after a while and they actually come in handy) then I urge you to check it out.

Wasn't sure about the game before, but it does sound good. I have few other games I want to buy right now, but I'll certainly look more into Die Hard.
Hmmmm.........Nightfire.....Starfox.......Die Hard.......or Clone Wars.
Those are the only games I want before........Metroid and Zelda.
So. Is Die Hard really really worht getting if you love FPS?

Damn you, I wish I hadn't had to take it back to Blockbusters.
Yeah, I am on the tuna level now. The plot is really begining to unfold!
This game just keeps getting better and better. I'm on the Tuna factory level now, the Prison break level is feckin huge. The mental ward made me laugh, the way they're piping in the Classical music and that guy's smashing his head against the wall.
Bit that makes me laugh is all the Portericans in the 2nd level specially when you shoot the ticket window to get into the pool club and the guy says something like "Hey Esey, you f***** up my window you punk b****"
I am hoping that you get to storm a building with a SWAT team. By=ut there are some vry very funny bits. Wait till you get to the luny bin. (Mental Prison)

IMO this game fookin rocks, the more you play it the better it gets. The whole interacting with characters thing is the bollards, I'm on the movie set level now, I fecked up the bit where you have the protect the SWAT dudes from the roof top snipers.
